The real Palais Garnier, which the Opéra Populaire is based on, also hadn't been completed yet. Artistic License History: In Real Life, Paris in late 1870 was under heavy siege by the Germans, whereas in the film there's nary a hint of the Franco-Prussian War.Giry, and both The Phantom and Christine. Christine's backstory gets a little more development as well, showing how she came to the opera house as a young girl.It's explained how Madame Giry came to know and unofficially 'work' for the Phantom when she was a teenager and he was presumably around ten, she helped him escape from a travelling fair where he was abused and exhibited as a sideshow attraction, and hid him in the opera house.
